JDownloads has the ability to set different download capability limits for each Joomla! User Group. This allows a wide variety of controlling user groups in who is able to see what, control download access and of course uploading of new Downloads. JDownloads fully supports now the Joomla Access Permissions and Access Levels for Categories and Downloads. And say users with Publisher or similar rights can create new Downloads including uploading the main download file, together with preview text, images, audio clips (MP3) and video clips (MP4). So it is possible, for example, that all guests can view the category (and the files) but only registered users can download the files. You can set the 'download' rights for categories and downloads for every Joomla user group. There is an option to use a different folder name if desired. A folder is created for every category, usually the folder has the same name as the category, so you have exactly the same structure on your server as in your download area.

The downloads can be organized by customized categories and subcategories. You can show size, author, price, rating, popularity, etc., etc. You may have a text description, multiple images, an MP3 or an MP4 preview complete with player.

Obviously it includes the file that is to be downloaded but in jDownloads there are many more optional features to show the user or potential customer. English and German languages are included with the component and many others are available on or Two different versions are available for Joomla 3 and Joomla 4.
